Info:
Pat Badger is the bassist of the band EXTREME.He also fronts his side project simply called BADGER, singing lead vocals and playing bass.BADGER was formed when Bleu (one of Pat's favorite artists and songwriters) sent Pat a batch of 35 songs and he was so inspired to record some of them that he jumped on the phone asking Bleu to come to Boston to start recording at Ice Station Zebra with Grammy award winning engineer Ducky Carlisle!Pat had no hesitation to call Kevin Figueiredo who is the other half of Extreme's rhythm section to be a part of the new album. Pat and Kevin have been playing together and recorded the last studio with Extreme in 2006. With a few tours under their belts and a tight bond on and off the stage, Kevin jumped right in.Joe Pessia has been another name that Extreme fans may be familiar with having played bass in Nuno's Dramagods as well as Gary Cherone's Hurtsmile. Knowing that he is also a great guitar player (having played guitar in Tantric), he played with Extreme at the Boston Strong concert filling in for Nuno in May of 2013. Pat started talking to Joe about the project and over the summer played him some of the tracks and he was equally impressed with the songs, so he started working immediately with Pat and Kevin.This album shows a unique side to Pat Badger that Extreme fans will appreciate! This unique blend of Modern Rock and Powerpop will surely be in your CD or mp3 player in heavy rotation!
Album:
"Outside of Extreme, Pat Badger has played with Jason Bieler of Saigon Kick in Super TransAtlantic and of course Tribe of Judah with Gary Cherone, but has never really had his own project or solo effort. We all know what he brought to the table in all of these bands beyond his solid bass playing and that was his very underrated, extremely smooth harmonies. With that in mind, I had always wondered what a project of his own might sound like? My thought would be one part Cheap Trick, add in a touch of Queen, a sprinkle of Aerosmith, a dab of KISS and a small pinch of Van Halen and that would be a signature Pat Badger album. Well you know what, ‘Time Will Tell” from Badger is truly all of that and a whole lot more.""This debut record from Mr. Badger has exceeded my expectations, especially as a vocalist.""Of course a great album comes down to songwriting and Pat enlisting the assistance of pop artist/songwriter/producer Bleu. Bleu was Pat’s “Ace” in the hole on this project. This cd is full of catchy pop tunes, crunchy guitar work and a solid rhythm section and makes “Time Will Tell” worthy of my personal consideration for my #1 breakout release of 2014.""What to take away from “Time Will Tell”? Mostly that Pat Badger has been underutilized within the ranks of Extreme... I think it’s time for Pat Badger to have a lead vocal on the next Extreme record.""Pat Badger has proved one thing for sure, he is more than capable of writing and performing within the ranks of his own band. The fact that the band consists of not only superstar Bleu but old friends like Joe Pessia from Hurtsmile and K Figg from Extreme certainly makes Badger a future force to be reckoned with within the hard rock genre."
